[QUOTE="Nceitil, post: 487659, member: 1163"] For [b]bass [/b]trapping, generally denser is better (to a point). Seems most DIY and commercial BASS traps are using 80-100kg density. Check out this picture - It should help you decide on material vs thickness [url=http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,17789.msg224907.html#msg224907]http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,17789.msg224907.html#msg224907[/url] Unless you have front, rear and side treatments I would not worry about using FRK on your bass traps. FRK is a foil you can get from Isover and it helps bounce high frequencies back into the room. You attach it to your panels / bass traps just under the covering material to help 'liven' up a dead room. Absorption below 200hz works best with LOTS of denser materials. My suggestion would be 50mm Utherm 8. It is also easy to cut and handle vs the thicker panels. [/QUOTE]
